Bummer. I just loved her when I was a kid. RIP Dawn.

Heck even watching re-runs now, I still have that same crush

RIP.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

RIP Dawn. Yes, Tina Louise is the sole remaining main cast member of that show, age 86.

She used to visit our restaurant at lunch when she was in the Green Hills area shopping.

Grace does not begin to describe her. She appreciated that we didn't mob her but any customer that wanted to talk to her got a few minutes of time and a big smile.

We could use a big dose of Mary Ann right now...

As pointed out she was 82. She recently went through some serious surgery about two years ago and has been suffering from dementia for over a year and living in a assisted living center. She was also bankrupt for some time.

FAR from a picture of health.

NOT TRUE...there were eight on that boat leaving the harbor. Where is Herby the fast food worker out for a short tour?? Bet those animals ate him the first week.
